If you want to tow a caravan you need a brain transplant

I'm in the same situation as you Chad being 22, but it's even more annoying for me as I have a PSV licence and have been driving 70+ kids round in double deckers since I was 18! but still can't tow a big trailer. I have looked into it and found I can tow a trailer upto 750kg aslong as it's single axle and unbraked. I have a small trailer that I use all the time and use my dads bike trailer. May be differant for you if you did your test not long ago.

I actually agree with this, seems utter madness to me that back in my day you could pass your driving test on Monday morning, then set off down the street later that day with a 20 foot caravan on tow

It's mad isn't it. Suppose its more cash for the
goverment! Glad I'm lucky enough to have an employer willing to put me through a class one.

God it makes me feel old. There was no cc limit when I did my test. Strangely enough I do drive a steam roller in the summer
